The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper IL
the State, and with few exceptions the ola
est in the country, and its usefulness hs
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS Gifts existence. Ir
its columns has always been found mirror
ofpassing events, and the careful chroni-
cling of the history ofwhat is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in The
counting room and workshop it has become
Invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for OBJ
tanning news then any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit OF the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world ; hence
Its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion Of our own domain as well RS
from every part of the habitabIe globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE TO publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.
pers.
Another feature that serves to maks the
GAZETTE great desderatum with mer-
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes a full and
complete history of everything that occurs
In and near the city, and this feature will
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, RicL
nond and every section of theState, is pub.
lished regularly, and all events of Interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
nonwealth are to lie found in the columns
Of the GAZETTE.
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily 10
'reasing, especially among people who con-
suit its advertising columns before purchas
ng. That this is selfevident may be infer.
ed from the fact that a large country edi
lon-nearly as large as the daly--is sent
vi over this section Of country three times
week, and is read by thousands, most OF
7hom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of adj
'ertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, APP
aren't.

"A Hopeful View.

The New York Herald's financial
article in recent issue takes a
hopeful view OF matters, aud SAYS
that just now the prospect is espe-
cial]y cheering, since the recent
rainfalls have done incalculable hem
eft in regions that had been suffer-
ing from drouth. The financial and
industrial indications have likewise
improved. The iron tradeis better;
higher prices are bid for steel; the
demand for wooden goods has i'm
proved; many thousands of striking
workmen haye returned to their la
bors; Europe, fearing lest her own
crops be late, is buying our bread
stutfs at enhanced prices; sterling
exchange is very much lower; immi-
grants in vast numbers are passing
through Castle Garden on their way
to develop new territory in the
West; bank exchanges, taking the
country as a whole, are very large;
and the temper Of the people gener-
ally is cheerful, and indicative Of
confidence in the future.

The Louisiana Central.

1t will be remembered that some
time ago we gave the substance of a
wee small runlor that had noated in
from some unknown source to the
effect that Col. Huntington had
been making inquiries about the
feasibility of rcsuming work on the
Louisiana Central Railroad since
the successful construction of the
Morganza levec. We did not place
a great deal of confidence in the
rumor at the time, but gave it for
what 1t was worth. Subsequent
lnkIlngs, however, have been
dropped from time to time that lead
US to suspect very strongly that
there was really more in the rumor
than we were willing to allow our
selves to believe. y gentleman re-
Gently from New York and we'll iu-
formed about the movements in rail-
road circles states it as a fact that
Col. Huntington intends to build
the Louisiana Central road, and
that he would not be surprised if
the order to begin work would ba
given as soon as the summer season
has passed. We devoutly hope that
this bit of encouraging news may
prove true, as the Louisiana Central
Will be an important road to this
place. The completion of that line
from Port Allen to Lafayette will no
donbt soon be followed b, the con-
struction of the Middle Louisiana.

Louisiana the Place for Them.

Every possible effort should be
made 20 turn part Of this years
tide OF immigration into Louisiana.
No State in the Union offers better
advantages to the immigrant than
Louisiana. Its climate is mild, FER
tlllty OF its soil is unexcelled, and it
has excellent transportation facili-
ties, first'class markets, churches,
schools, and all the conyeniences de-
sired by home-seekers. It is free
from the violent meteorological dis
.tnrbances of ether sections of the
country, and it offers every induce
ment for settlers who come here with
the intention of being good citizens
1t is not only to the immigration
from abroad that an invitation
should be extended, but to the peo.
Pile from other States. During the
last few years many Western people
have come to Louisiana to live, and
all of them, so far as heard from,
are thoroughly pleased with their
new homes. Their experience is the
best possible proof Of the excellence
of this State as a place of residence
Louisiana throws her gates wide
open to brains and enterprise, capi-
tai and labor, and pays handsome re-
turns on judicious investments. More
than that, she gives her new citizens
all the benefits of her generous hos
p1tality and good living. - South

The Next Legislature.

1t is little strange that while sc
much contention is going on in res
pect to the governorship, so little
should be said by the press of the
State concerning the legislature
This is coordinate branch of the
government, and the proper and in
telligent exercise of it's functions
just as necessary to good govern
ment and the wise administration Of
public affairs as in the executive
branch. Our next General Assem-
bly, has momentous work before it.
Besides electing five circuit judges
and passing laws for the general
welfare of the State, there will be
two o. S. Senators to elect, the po'
sition Of each more honorable and
important, though a little further e.
moved from the every day walks Of
the people. than the chief magis.
tracy. When such positions were
to be filed during last legislature,
there was unfortunately much room
for elimination and charges of trea.
son and sale. And it will continue
to be so long as the people, unmind-
full of the Importance of the trust,
persist in sending prohigate and in.
competent politicians TO represent
them in the legislative halls. The
Democratic voters must awake to
the importance of the functions as.
signed by the constitution to the leg.
lsla ative branch, and send men there
on whom they can rely and trust in
every contingency. Yet it is not
enough to send there an honorable
man or one xho is cherished
friend; his political opinions should
be sounded and be such as you
would have dominant. In other
words, the standard of qualification
should be impersonal; it should be
the ideas that the man represents,
with his individuality eliminated, ex-
cept in SO far as are concerned the
cardinal virtues Of honor and rectl-
tude Of character. This was the
wise rule followed in East Baton
Rouge in the last election aud
while we elected men of character
and intelligence, we also sent men
who fully represented the dominant
sentiment of the East Baton Rouge
Democracy. That this rule was not
followed in other parishes was ap-
parent from the fact that Jonas par
ishes, through their representatives,
In several instances, voted for Eustis,
while the important issue was really
decided by the haphazard vote of
one Or two men, who knew or cared
very little about it.-Baton Rouge

the subject till | had several head

how to learn children to spell and

question, am going to take up the
subject again, and do my best to get
hold Of the bottom facts. I had
rather tackle the short hand method
Of teaching school, two to one, than
to try and understand the why's and
wherefores Of the mosqaito question,
therefore write to you, Mr.. Editor,
to see if you or any Of your readers
can tell me what use mosquitoes are
in creation. | have studied on the
subject till | have exhausted all my
talents for reflection, and | have
about come to the conclusion that
the world could wag along as well
without them as with them, though
a screw might get loose somewhere,
if there wasn't any; but I don't be-
lieve it would cripple the whole
machinery of creation. If | could
find receipt to exter,uinate them,
Id try it. even if it did upset the
diurnal motion Of the universe. If
the pesky things would feed upon
the vegetable kingdom, nobody
would have any very great objection
to them, but all their song is for
blood. blood blood! and they are
not very particular whose blood it
is. They 60 for the black man as

as if they thought your blood was

use for you to lose your patience and

their feelings talking to them that
way. y fellow who has delicate re-
ligion Lad better not go among the
mosquitoes, for he is sure to get it
damaged in some way or other be
fore he leaves their territory. | don't
know whether mosquitoes have any
religion or not; they have splendid
voices for song, but it's my opinion
they never use their song in praise
Of their maker. You may talk about
monopolies, but mosquitoes are the
biggest monopoly I know Of. When
they take possession of territory,
they pretty well crowd out the rest
Of the animal kingdom. I have
come to the conclusion that mosqui-
toes were created since the food, for
